A head constable in UP uploaded a post on Instagram, and on September 3, a man in Mumbai saw the post and recognized his uncle, who had been missing for years. He immediately reached out to the head constable and was connected with his family.

UP Woman Finds Missing Husband in Instagram Reel
In a similar incident, a woman in Uttar Pradesh’s Hardoi district identified her husband — who had been missing for eight years — via an Instagram reel. However, this was not a very jolly reunion as the man abandoned his wife to marry another woman. Upon identifying him, his wife filed a complaint with the police.
The accused, Jitendra alias Bablu, had left his pregnant wife, Sheelu, in 2018 and was living in Ludhiana, Punjab, where he had allegedly remarried. He was arrested following the complaint.
The case came to light when Sheelu, a resident of Murarnagar in the Sandila area, spotted her husband in a video on Instagram recently. She approached the police, which launched an investigation that confirmed his identity and location.
